Just putting my two pennies worth in here 
Modern section equipment is very flexible depending on the threat situation, The lSW has not been withdrawn so it is still issued as a normal personal weapon 2 per section, I cant see this changing for quite some time due too money considerations, after all the LSW is nothing more than an a slightly heavier SA80 with a bipod. In Iraq were the armour threat is low the law is kept in the armoury and section firepower is boosted by either a gpmg or minimi depending on availability.
In SPMBT this could be shown by duplicating the modern section and changing at weapons for support mgs thus giving you a choice of sections depending on the scenario you are playing

I already have provided sections with different "extra" weapons such as an added mimimi.
There is also the "light infantry" org, which is for places where armour is rareer (S leone say) and so the ATW are less emphasised. Extra LMG instead etc.
However the SP system is not good for "mix and matchh" - you need to create a new unit to say, simply change the AAMG from the LMG to a 50 cal for no real game impact. That then uses an entire slot for the variant (an issue in the OOBs with large unit counts) and adds more maintenance hassles.
You cannot simply do things (in this game system) like with the WRG tabletop rules (swap out a 2 points VAAMG to a 5 point VAAHMG or remove it completely if not required). SP units are bought as entire "lumps" with no customisation allowed in-game.
